US First Lady Jill Biden had two skin cancers removed. The operation went well. All cancerous tissue in the affected areas has been “successfully” removed, said White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor. As expected, the 71-year-old has some swelling and bruising on her face, but she feels fine.
During a routine skin cancer exam, the First Lady was found to have “a small lesion above her right eye,” according to her spokeswoman. This has been removed and is now being examined in the laboratory.

Another “concern” was also discovered on the left side of the 71-year-old’s chest. The tissue was also removed – a basal cell carcinoma was confirmed.
Again, the entire cancerous tissue was successfully removed – there were no remnants of skin cancer cells at the edges of the lesion. Biden himself was “in a good mood”.
The procedure, known as Mohs surgery, was performed at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, near the US capital of Washington. It is believed that “no further intervention will be necessary”.
